Thousands of people lost their life savings. “Efstathiou, who has been working on the design for two months, said that although Cyprus’s recent financial woes were partly down to mistakes made by commercial banks, he chose the independent central bank for its symbolic value. “Central bank spokeswoman Aliki Stylianou said artists were free to express themselves, but declined to comment on the specific choice made by Efstathiou. *Artist uses tombstone-style toilets to protest Cyprus financial meltdown – what are your comments?**Greg Dempsey * *http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SECULARHUMANIST/*<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SECULARHUMANIST/> *Voice of the Pe**ople* __._,_.___ Reply via web post<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PresidentBarakObama/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJydXV0YXJyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyMTU2MzUxBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MDM3NgRtc2dJZAM0NjM0MARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNycGx5BHN0aW1lAzEzNzA5MDMxODk-?act=reply&messageNum=46340> Reply to sender <javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', '[email protected]?subject\x3dRe%3A%20%2A%3F%202%20ALL%3A%20ARTIST%20USES%20TOMBSTONE-STYLE%20TOILETS%20TO%20PROTEST%20CYPRUS%20FINANCIAL%20MELTDOWN%20-%20WHAT%20ARE%20YOUR%20COMMENTS%3F%2A');> Reply to group <javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', '[email protected]?subject\x3dRe%3A%20%2A%3F%202%20ALL%3A%20ARTIST%20USES%20TOMBSTONE-STYLE%20TOILETS%20TO%20PROTEST%20CYPRUS%20FINANCIAL%20MELTDOWN%20-%20WHAT%20ARE%20YOUR%20COMMENTS%3F%2A');> Start a New Topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PresidentBarakObama/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMTBzdDY1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyMTU2MzUxBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MDM3NgRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1lAzEzNzA5MDMxODk-> Messages in this topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PresidentBarakObama/message/46340;_ylc=X3oDMTM3YXBpNmZrBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyMTU2MzUxBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MDM3NgRtc2dJZAM0NjM0MARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzEzNzA5MDMxODkEdHBjSWQDNDYzNDA->(1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PresidentBarakObama;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMDJucWIxBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyMTU2MzUxBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MDM3NgRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzEzNzA5MDMxODk-> [image: Yahoo!
